I had not explored much of the forest on the west side of the utility right of way, where I was camped. So today, I decided to continue into that portion of the forest for a while to finish my late day shoot.
In the above image, I was actually trying to capture the highlights along a barbed wire fence. The intended images did not come out very well, but in this one I caught a couple of falling leaves, which are blurred due to the shutter speed not being fast enough to freeze their motion.
I found an old stump of a fallen tree with a few yellow Aspen leaves laying on the moss growing in a sheltered portion of the stump.
This old, weathered stump had interesting patterns.
I will confess that I modified the scene above by adding the yellow Aspen leaf on the upper right side. I wish I had removed the twig on the left side.
The image above is my favorite in this portion of this post. I really like the late day shadows and highlights on the trunks and the streaks of light on the forest floor.
I found an Aspen tree trunk not too far from another camping area, where hunters were camped, with this message on it. I promise I did not do this and I do not know Beth!
Stay safe and well,
Ken
Great details nicely seen and photographed!
Thank, Denise.
